You say this like we're such a beautiful country whose drinking water doesn't make people in rich countries sick. And no, they aren't likely to come here with all the violence and the supportiveness of people like you. We'll probably get a travel ban by other countries and have a crashing tourism industry.

Last I checked, oligarchs are still in control. PLDT has a monopoly on telephone lines. Meralco has a monopoly on electricity. The Lopezes are dominating TV entertainment. The Ayalas own the business districts and have the top real estate projects and banks in the country. And you, you're still where you were before Duterte became president. Arroyo got away with corruption. Peter Lim fled the country despite accusations on pushing drugs. People are still poor, hungry, unschooled.

Nothing's changed. You just worship Duterte too much.

Nothing changed, really?! How about crime rate down to 45%? Freedom of Information is signed. A free 911 implemented. 8888 to call for corrupt politicians. Laglag bala scam gone. etc etc...

If you can't see changes today then you have problem. And really, you expect everything to change upside down in just 2 months? Are you on drugs?

If he was, would you murder him?

600K+ that surrendered are still alive today. Don't be stupid.

600K+ that surrendered did so out of fear for their lives. However, mattquiros doesn't seem like he's one of those who surrendered. So should he be fearing for his life right now? If "being on drugs" is enough of a risk that over half a million people surrendered, then what is accusing someone of being on drugs?
